My family found a home here in America after fleeing the massacre of Jews in Ukraine.
Like so many refugees, they found work and contributed to their community.
It’s wrong that Donald Trump wants to deport families, just like mine, who fled violence.

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.
I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

“To understand Trump, forget ideology, forget governance. The only principle that matters is that no one—ever—can appear smarter, more capable, or more admired than he does. The CIA...is a direct threat to that ‘reality.’” Read more from Brian O’Neill on the recent CIA firings.
Trump can’t handle the truth, so he’s firing it
The intelligence community will always tell it like it is, no matter what the president wants to hear.

"You have filled the world with women, slaves, and beggars." -Julian the Apostate (4th Century AD)
The Roman emperor scorned early Christianity’s appeal to the socially marginalized (women, minorities, and the poor).
Our faith should be widely known for its concern for these groups.
